It seems that my relationship with my landlord has progressed in a positive way over the last couple weeks. We had one very emotional conversation about the 410 dollar doorknob, and that was the last I heard of it. He could tell there was nothing for him to do but cry about it, I guess. I personally stopped feeling guilty about my mismanagement of the locksmith situation when the neighbors started leaving open bags of rotting trash in the hallway again, and for days on end, so I called 311 again but I don't think he knows that yet because he wouldn't have got the letter right away. They finally cleaned it up but then the neighbors busted the lock on the front door of the building, so I started sending him texts about that too. I text one message saying I knew it was the Sabbath but that if I should be raped mugged or killed in my hallway he would be responsible to God for it. But he didn't get my messages because he was in Jerusalem, praying at a holy wall. So when he got back to New York he called me and told me about the coincidence of the whole thing, which appealed to him apparently because now he has called just to chat at least more than once. I told him I don't think this area is safe and I don't walk at night for pleasure and he said do you need me to take a walk with you? And he asked me if I'm Jewish but he knows I'm not so whatever. Should I be the superintendent? He says he would pay me. I think it's pointless because I'm moving in less than a year anyway, but I kind of like the idea. Maybe if I could have the apartment next door with the backyard and he moved that family out, although the little girls are so cute impossible to hate and the mom is sweet too.
